Crazy, screeching, wild animal

[GrnBay007]

Ok, every night from about 11pm on I hear this crazy animal in my backyard. It has to be right outside my house because it is so loud even with the windows closed. I'm afraid to let my dog out in the backyard anymore at night. I turn the very bright yard light on and it doesn't bother this crazy ass animal. It's not a cat in heat because I've heard that before. This is a really weird screeching sound and sounds like it's in distress or fighting or something. Bats aren't that loud are they? Ok you outdoors people..........what kind of creature has taken over my backyard at night???

Did you move to Tasmania?

This is where you call in the Skinbasket with his semi-automatic and have him just spray the whole yard til the screeching stops. At first, I thought you might be dealing with racoons, but it's well past mating season. Maybe it's a gay racoon, upset over being hounded out of the Boy Scouts.

I can handle this one. You got a case of jungle fever back there, woman.

This incident reminds me of the most cringe-worthy Grateful Dead lyric, from "Looks Like Rain":

Did you ever waken to the sound, of street cats making love?
And guess from their cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know- oooooooooh, hate's the last thing they're thinking of.
They're only tryin' to make it thru the night.

We do have racoons around...have to triple secure the garbage cans every week or they make a big mess. Wonder if ground hogs make a weird noise, had one of them hanging around a couple summers ago.

Go out there with a stick and a flashlight and find out what that fucker is. Then beat the shit out of it. What's the worst that can happen? Rabies shots?

10 to life.

10 to life.

only if it is a deer. Okay, okay, 60 days and $1000 bucks...

OK. Get some recording device and record this sound best you can .Then take that recording to a wildlife specialist. Going outside for a look see at night is likely a waste of time and anything involving a gun not productive and possibly criminal.

Porcupines make the most ungodly noises imaginable. Got any of those?

You're an idiot.
